WIRE FENCE TIGHTENER. P O-175,944. Patented April 11. 1876.
WITNESSES NED STATES PATENT OFFICE,
WILLIAM F. DANIELS, OF LIME SPRING, IOWA.
llVlPR OVEMENT IN WIRE-FENCE TIGHTENERS.
.Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. [75,944, dated April 11, 1876; application filed 'January 22, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, VVILLIAM F. DANIELS, of Lime Spring, Howard county, Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Wire-Fence Tighteners, of which the following is a specification:
Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved device, part being broken away to show the constrnction, and Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Both figures show the device applied to a fence-wire.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The object of this invention is to furnish an improved device for tighteningthe wires of wire fences, which shall be so constructed that the wires may be tightened without being cut, which shall be simple in construction, convenicnt in use, and durable. A
The invention consists in an improved wiretightener formed by the combination of the U-bar or clevis, provided with the pawl and the hooks, and the slotted cylinder, provided with the ratchet-wheel and the projection or socket, with each other, as hereinafter fully described.
A is a clevis or U-shaped bar, in the ends of which are formed holes to receive the cylinder B. The cylinder is made hollow, to make it tight, and is slotted from one end to half its length, more or less, the alternate edges of said slot being rounded off to prevent it from cutting the wire. To the other end of turned. To the bend of the U-barA is attached a hook, F, to be hooked upon the wire to keep the tightener in place.
In using the device the bar A is hooked upon the wire, the cylinderB is put in in such a way that the wire to be tightened may pass into its slot between the arms of the bar A.
The cylinder B is then turned, winding the wire around it, until the said wire has been drawn to the desired tautness, where it is held by the pawl D and ratchet-wheel O. The hook F is then hooked upon the wire or some other support.
I am aware that wire fencing has been stretched by a Windlass and longitudinal frame, the wire passing through an end slot of the former and both ends of the latter; but a What I claim is The U-bar A, provided with top fastener, in combination with a wire-stretching Windlass, herein described, as and for the purpose specified. 7
